This website is my platform. This is it. No Facebook. No Twitter. No Instagram.

But if you want to know what I’m reading, what my favorite books are, along with favorite authors, visit my Goodreads page.

Whether it’s writing software documentation at work or penning crime fiction at the house, writing takes up a considerable amount of my day, leaving me no time for social media.

Because of other commitments, trying to establish a platform on Facebook and Twitter and maintain them is not something I can swing right now. I had to choose something for my platform and I chose this website. But I believe authors should have a presence on Goodreads and at LibraryThing.

Hopefully, in the near future I’ll get published and will be able to switch my Goodread’s user account over to an author’s page.

Where do you prefer to follow your favorite authors? Are you an author who struggles to balance time with writing books and having to keep up with social media platforms? Share with me your personal feelings about author platforms, and your experiences with Goodreads.
